It may not matter much in the end, but I've just always liked Coachella setting the pace for everyone else, but I got this feeling this year's lineup will look pretty normal now that the others have shown their cards. Not to mention a lot of bands are self-confirming. No surprises expected here.

Good call. Particularly with The Postal Service...no where near as much of a shock factor now that they're announced to play Primavera. It will still be good news and exciting nonetheless, but a certain vibe has been deducted from the poster once you see a whole bunch of names that have already appeared on other posters prior. Wu Tang Clan is another name, its just really dissapointing that Coachella couldn't set the pace to begin with. Regardless I'm expecting a ridiculous lineup in the coming days/week, hopefully.

Agreed with all of this. I got a lot of excitement and joy out of TPS news on Monday, but it would have been so much more awesome to just see it on the poster yesterday instead. At this point it is just getting annoying that 3 day fests in May and June are getting their lineups out sooner.

You should read it: it's MUCH better than Lil B photos and music videos.

With Husker Du reissuing their first single (first reissue they've done since the band broke up,) with Grant Hart's extreme financial issues due to the fire at his house, with Bob Mould apparently realizing how much great music he's been a part of, with the fact that Mould attends Coachella every year, maybe, just maybe, Husker Du is the reunion Travelfan is referencing.

If so, I don't care what I have to do, I will be there. I would camp out all day at that stage. I would die right afterwards of pure joy, even if the set was mediocre.
